Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'carrot' (the vegetable) with 'soup' (a liquid food); it literally denotes soup made from carrots. This food‑naming composition is cross‑linguistically common and follows a regular noun‑combination pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Carrot soup comes from the simple idea of cooking the carrot, the orange vegetable, into soup. People simmer carrots with water, herbs and sometimes cream to make a warm, orange, slightly sweet dish, so today carrot soup means 'a soup made mainly from carrots'.
